My shoulder is killing me today. I can barely raise my right arm up. I've taken Tylenol & it eases it a little bit, but not much. I think I must have slept on it wrong, but who knows? I was so tired that all I remember is turning off the lamps.Raisin Bran: 2.5 pointsSoy Milk: 2.5 pointsChicken in Salad with Cheese: 7.5 pointsFrozen Grapes: 1 pointSteak: 10 pointsPeas: 1 pointSalad: 0 pointsSkinny Cow (Mint): 2.5 pointsPopcorn: 3 points----------------------------------------------------Total Points: 30 points

I'm absolutely starving today. I haven't blown it, nor have I really been tempted, but I am aware that I'm hungry. I'm looking forward to dinner, since lunch seems like it was a long time ago. I was very busy today, I cleaned the living toom, vacuumed, started some laundry, did the dishes, swept, did some more laundry, mopped, finished the laundry & then cooked dinner. This evening I went running around with my son, Erin, to spend his paycheck & then we ironed on some patches & stuff on the jacket he bought. I have to stay up tonight, at least until my daughter, Rhiannon, calls from the theater so I can pick her up (we have an 11pm curfew for kids under 16 & she's 14)Today's MenuRaisin Bran: 2.5 pointsSoy Milk: 2.5 pointsFrozen Grapes: 1 pointSandwich on Low Carb Bread: 2.5 pointCheez-it Crackers: 4.5 points3 Tiny Dills: 0 pointsChicken in Lemon Sauce: 6 pointsBeets: 0 pointsPeas: 1 pointSkinny Cow (mint): 2.5 points1/2 Hershey Bar: 3 points

It's very strange, today I'm barely hungry at all. Why is it, when I'm not eating right, I want to eat all the time, but when I change things around, I have very hungry days & then days where I'm not hungry at all? I know the eating all the time thing, is why I'm fat & when I'm eating right I'm actually paying attention to my body & when I'm hungry. I know that I eat a lot of times when I'm not hungry & then I eat way too much. I would probably be a healthy weight if I had never stopped listening to my body. I wonder when I stopped & why?

This first week back on the wagon (of healthy eating) has been very good. I haven't cheated, although the opportunity has presented itself more than once. On Tuesday, the day I started again, Troy wanted to take me out to lunch. I made sure he took me somewhere that had good choices for me & I made good choices, too. Yesterday I planned my menu around what we were having for dinner, stuck with the amount I was allowed to have & stopped. I also turned down Pepperidge Farms cookies, which wasn't easy.

About Me

Within ourselves lies a drive, a force that only makes sense to us. It is that force that can make a person crazy. Crazy is only what you make of it. In the past, most people have been trained to think that crazy is a negative thing... but I repeat, crazy is only what you make of it. Crazy is a state of mind comprised of desire, anger, knowledge, courage, fear and devotion. Crazy makes people fall in love. Crazy makes a musician and an artist talented. Crazy makes a dying man take his own life. Make what you will of this, but I cannot believe I would be any better off sane. Therefore, I am, and will remain, crazy.
